JOOX Supports Local Artists During Lockdown

JOOX has launched the ‘Gig and Earn’ campaign for local artists. ‘Gig and Earn’ will work by paying artists to perform their music virtually – live and straight from their homes, using the JOOX app.

How does it work?

The onboarding process is simple; musicians can get the app from any app store and sign-up. They can then apply for a booking, where a time and date for a 30min performance will be confirmed. Performers will receive R1500 for a performance.

It’s a fact that the music and entertainment is currently suffering due to the Coronavirus pandemic. JOOX sees this as part of an urgent need to do what they can to stimulate the economy during a difficult time. The ‘Gig and Earn’ campaign is how they give back to the people who drive the industry and make music possible – the artists.
